In response to the challenges and opportunities of an ageing population, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has partnered with four gerontology research institutes in Hong Kong to implement the Jockey Club Age-friendly City Project with the aim of building an age-friendly city which can cater for the needs of all ages.
The four research institutes includes CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing (The Chinese University of Hong Kong), Sau Po Centre on Ageing (The University of Hong Kong), The Asia-Pacific Institute of Ageing Studies (Lingnan University), and The Institute of Active Ageing (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University). The research institutes have formed professional support teams to provide support and advice to districts to launch an age-friendly movement to engage relevant stakeholders and improve age-friendliness of districts.
